Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help!

I'm pretty sure the Last Boy Scout doesn't hold the "fuck" record any more... anybody care to count the number of times it is used in Boondock Saints? Marcika 15:23, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Overtones of misogyny?

I'm removing this; it has nothing to do with the movie and smells ranting.

I heard Curtney Love hate this movie cos according to her too many women died in it. Ive seen it numerous times but never found that to be true, i found it to be a Tony Scott movie more than anything.

How lucid a viewpont you have. You are a valuable member of the wiki community.

[edit] Trivia

I moved the trivia section here as it is unsourced and a list basically copied directly from the Internet Movie Database. Once this info can be cited correctly, it should be placed back in the article.--J.D. (talk) 13:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

• Shane Black became the first screenwriter to sell a spec script for $1 million.
• The movie that Joe’s daughter Darian is watching on TV is Lethal Weapon, which was also written by Shane Black.
• In the original script, the entire third act was set on water. Hallenbeck’s grudge with senator Baynard was completely different from the movie. Hallenbeck was working security for the Baynard family when Louis Baynard, Senator Baynard’s son, kills a mother and her child in a drunken car accident. When Hallenbeck refuses to cover for the senator’s son, they plant half a kilo of crack cocaine in his house. Louis Baynard was also a villain in the script, and in the end both he (and his father) dies.
• Quentin Tarantino has declared himself a fan of The Last Boy Scout.
• Bill Medley sings “Friday Night Is a Great Night for Football” on the opening and closing credits parodying Hank Williams Jr's Monday Night Football intro.
• This was comic Eddie Griffin’s film debut.
• Martial Artist and creator of Tae-Bo, Billy Blanks, appears as Billy Cole in the opening sequence.
• Composer Michael Kamen hated the film when he first saw it. He only scored the film out of his personal friendships to Bruce Willis and Joel Silver.
• Bruce Willis's personal motto in the film is Be Prepared, which is the same as the Boy Scouts Of America.
